This solution is
designed to be used on steel in conjunction with our Copper Plate. Rainbow Torch will create a wide variety of colors similar
to those produced by the application of intense torch heat upon steel.
These effects are easy to create, and are limited only by your
imagination. With a little practice, a competent metal finisher can
render extremely complicated colorful patterns and
designs on steel in this easy to use, two step process. Many shades of blue, gray, green, red, and brown result
when this solution is sprayed on top of our Copper Plate solution. The end result is a bright, colorful, multi-hued
finish. If you desire a more subtle look, these colors and textures may
be further altered by allowing the finished part to oxidize naturally
for a controlled period of time. Oxidation softens and textures the
colors, resulting in a more matte-like finish.

First plate the steel with Copper Plate according to the directions.
You do not have to dry the plated part before using Rainbow Torch. The
Rainbow Torch solution can be applied in many different ways, but the
usual method is to spray the areas you wish to color with a concentrated
mist until the colors begin to form. Most users prefer to use an airbrush
with a controllable tip. A plastic bottle with a mist trigger sprayer is
adequate for many purposes. Drops of solution can be placed upon the plated
surface and then blown in random directions to form sunbursts, lines or random
patterns. Regardless of the method of application, wherever the solution
comes into contact with the plated surface, color changes will occur.
The colors formed will include shades of gray, blue, green, and red plus many more.
Once the desired look is reached, rinse the part with water to remove the excess
solution. Apply Rust Arrest, allowing it to react for twenty seconds,
rinse again and then quick dry to avoid oxidation. Then sealer finish with our Acrylic Matte or Gloss sealer.
